11. Studies of α-synuclein Oligomers-with Relevance to Lewy Body Disorders
Sammanfattning : The protein alpha-synuclein (α-synuclein) accumulates in the brain in disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). It is believed that the monomeric form of α-synuclein can adopt a partially folded structure and start to aggregate and form intermediately sized oligomers or protofibrils. LÄS MER
12. Alpha-Synuclein Oligomers : Cellular Mechanisms and Aspects of Antibody Treatment
Sammanfattning : In Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), aggregated α-synuclein deposit inside cells within the brain. Smaller soluble α-synuclein aggregates, oligomers, are present both intra- and extracellularly. LÄS MER
13. Phenomenology of Inert Scalar and Supersymmetric Dark Matter
Sammanfattning : While the dark matter has so far only revealed itself through the gravitational influence it exerts on its surroundings, there are good reasons to believe it is made up by WIMPs – a hypothetical class of heavy elementary particles not encompassed by the Standard Model of particle physics. The Inert Doublet Model constitutes a simple extension of the Standard Model Higgs sector. LÄS MER
14. Characterization of α-synuclein oligomers : Implications for Lewy Body Disorders
Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and multiple system atrophy are disorders featuring accumulation of Lewy bodies in brain. The main component of these large insoluble intracellular inclusions is the presynaptic protein alpha-synuclein (α-synuclein). LÄS MER
15. The role of glial cells in alpha-synuclein pathology : Focus on degradation, cell-to-cell propagation and inflammation
Sammanfattning : Growing evidence emphasizes the role of astrocytes and microglia in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Yet, little is known about their impact on specific disease processes and if their involvement is beneficial or detrimental. LÄS MER
